You are driving in a car at a constant speed.On your left side is a 'drop off' (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on), and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping horse which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a galloping zebra. Both the horse and zebra are also traveling at the same speed as you . What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

For the answer click and drag your mouse from star to star.

Sorry to ruin your joke but

if you slow down that will force the Zebra behind you to slow down also thus causing the Fire engine (who at that point maintianed its speed) to your right to go ahead of you clearing your right lane for you to merge

LOL @ intruder, apparently you did not read the answer

And TiCam, since you came up with the post, does the answer apply to you?

Kariz,

I am not the one driving. I am the one asking the question.

The teacher, not the student

BTW Intruder did not get the answer bcause he doesn't take his time to read the post.

I did and this is what caught my attention, everthing was at the same speed and: In front of you is a galloping horse which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a galloping zebra. Both the horse and zebra are also traveling at the same speed as you.
